Real Time Targets

The Real Time Targets Pack is an essential tool for engineers working on the validation of vehicle components (ECU, sensor, camera…) or models needing to be executed on a real-time target.

DISCOVER Real Time Targets

Empowering you to integrate your vehicle components

A network interface (virtual CAN), onto popular HIL platforms like dSpace and National Instruments, seamlessly interacting with the SCANeR software suite.

Benefits

Rich and representative environment

Openness

Features

Real-Time Vehicle Dynamics Model :
CALLAS RT

CALLAS, our own vehicle dynamics model, can be easily deployed and executed on real-time targets.

ComUDP Real-Time Interface

For HiL applications using the dSPACE system, it enables the RT platform to access both vehicle inputs and outputs and allows the connection to any vehicle models such as CALLAS RT.

Real-Time Gateway

Allows to easily connect SCANeR simulation to real-time systems.

More details

It can send any SCANeR data (sensors, vehicles, …) to real-time platforms using communication plug-ins.

Data are packed as “RT friendly” array of values. A dedicated GUI in SCANeR allows to define data to forward to real-time systems through custom “filters”. The communication is bidirectional and can also be used to send data to SCANeR from real-time systems.

Characteristics

Bi-directional communication with RT platforms
Communication plugins
User defined filters
GUI for filter edition

Communication Plugins

UDP (User Datagram Protocol allowing to establish connections between applications over ethernet)
SISCI for use with Dolphin cards (Shared-Memory system using Dolphin hardware allowing to exchange data with a real time platform at High speed and low latency)
Logger

Filter Edition

Filters are edited in SCANeR and can be shared between scenarios
Select which SCANeR data to send
Map received data to Export Channels
Export mapping to Simulink or CSV

SCANeR can run on CentOS based Real time Linux RedHawk distribution. It supports RedHawk FBS (Frequency-Based Scheduler) to allow very precise and deterministic scheduling of critical features.

Uses Cases

Static VIL: Vehicle Testing on Chassis or Direct Drive Dynamometer

Conduct tests on a stationary vehicle, where only the wheels have mobility, the entire transmission chain remaining operational. This method facilitates comprehensive evaluation of the real vehicle within a virtual environment using SCANeR, enabling precise assessment of performance and fuel consumption.

Dynamic VIL: Real Vehicle Testing on Test Track

Enhance real-world testing by incorporating virtual elements such as simulated surrounding vehicles and virtual sensors through SCANeR. This approach creates highly realistic conditions for testing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and other automotive technologies.

HIL: Testing and validating radar detection

Generate radar targets by using an HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) bench. For example, with the car’s radar sensors, we can simulate a crossing with a vehicle on the left or right. These signals are then integrated into the driving simulation. The visual component shows the positioning of the passing vehicle, whether on the left or right, and helps in decision-making: braking, stopping, or yielding to the other vehicle.
